Liu Yingkui was so scared that he was at a loss.

This virtuous brother was like crazy, and rushed over and killed him!

Now, not only did the rascals kill a lot of rogues, but even the dignified imperial officials and the seventh-rank magistrate were killed!

what to do?

He really doesn't know what to do. If the court pursues the matter, their Liu family will be in trouble!

Will the court not pursue the matter?

Surely!

Now it’s the world of the eunuch party. It’s strange that the eunuch party doesn’t take revenge on a crazy way.

The more he thought about it, the more he became, the more he became, the more he became. His face turned pale and he was so panicked that he was sweating.

Seeing this, Taichang could only say helplessly: "Brother Wenhe, don't worry, I am the current emperor, and it's nothing to kill a corrupt official like Li Yingjian."

Unexpectedly, Liu Yingkui was so scared that he exclaimed nervously: "Oh, brother, why are you still making such jokes at this time! Such jokes are not enough, how can you joke about the current emperor?"

I'm not kidding!

However, it is really easy for him to misunderstand his words to speak casually with brother.

You are all emperors, why do you still call Wen and brother?

Taichang had no choice but to look at Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng hurriedly pulled Liu Yingkui's arm and said, "Brother Wenhe, you dare not call me Brother again. This is really the emperor today!"

ah!

Liu Yingkui looked at the serious Wang Zheng in amazement, then at Taichang, who looked calm, and finally realized.

Wang Zheng could not make a serious joke. If this virtuous brother was not the emperor, he would not have been so calm if he killed the seventh-rank magistrate.

Oh, no, this is not a virtuous brother, the emperor!

He quickly pulled his son to the ground and kowtowed hard, "I don't know if it's the emperor's emperor's priest, so I'm offending. Please forgive me."

Taichang raised his hand slightly and said, "Okay, okay, get up. I was deliberately hiding my identity, otherwise I would not be able to ask so many corrupt officials. Those who don't know are innocent, so you can get up and talk."

When Liu Yingkui heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and carefully got up.

Taichang then asked again: "You can tell me now. Do you think that Dianshi Cheng Yuandan can temporarily take over the position of magistrate?"

Liu Yingkui hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Cheng is really good at managing the local area, and he is also very good to the people. The problem is that he is a juren in this county. According to the rules, he cannot be a local magistrate."

The Ming Dynasty did have this rule. All formal officials were not allowed to serve in their original homes, and local officials must be continuously transferred. Generally, they must be transferred to other places after three years of serving in one place. No matter how well they are managed in one place, they cannot exceed six years.

Because this classic history does not have a rank, it is usually the magistrate hired scholars with high reputation from the local area. It can only be considered an official, not a formal official, so it can serve in the local area. Formal officials with rank such as county magistrates and teachers are not allowed.

Alas, this rule is really speechless.

You know, transportation is quite backward at this moment, and ordinary civil servants cannot run wildly to take office. Therefore, many local officials have to wait for several months or even half a year when changing officials.

Isn't this delaying?

Taichang thought about it and then said decisively: "The rules are set by people. Some rules are unreasonable, so they have to be changed. It's like this official is not allowed to serve in his original home. It's not a big deal at normal times. When encountering such a year of constant natural disasters, it would be a bit harmful. Corrupt officials like Li Yingjian are not locals anyway, and they are not locals, and they leave after three years of the magistrate's expiration. Therefore, he dares to be greedy unscrupulously. If a local official dares to be so greedy, his ancestral grave will probably be dug up!"

Well, you are the emperor, of course you can set rules.

Liu Yingkui bowed straightforwardly: "The emperor is wise."

Well, not that kind of corrupt scholar.

Taichang nodded slightly and asked again: "Have you ever served as a magistrate, county magistrate, teacher or something?"

Of course, after all, the Liu family in Huayin is a famous family of officials, so there is still some face.

Liu Yingkui quickly said modestly: "The students have been several magistrates, but that was a few years ago. In recent years, the students have also grown older and can't stand long-distance travel. In addition, the disaster in my hometown is so I have no intention of working outside, so I came back."

Well, being a county magistrate is enough.

Taichang said without hesitation: "Then you can work harder and take the prefect of Xi'an for a while."

ah!

When Liu Yingkui heard this, he was really surprised.

However, this is not in line with the rules!

The prefect is a local official of the fourth rank, and the juren usually ends when he reaches the sixth rank. Without special circumstances, it is impossible for the juren to be promoted to the sixth rank or above.

He bowed carefully: "Your Majesty, this is a bit unruly. The student is just a juren."

When Taichang heard this, he said domineeringly: "Rules should also vary from time to time and from person to person. Is it useful to keep the rules of peaceful and prosperous times in this chaotic era? It is time to reform the old and the new era. How far can you go according to the old rules? You can rest assured to serve this prefect. If you are well, I will recommend you a real prefect!"

Well, okay, you are the emperor, you have the final say.

Liu Yingkui hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your grace, the emperor."

Taichang then said to Cao Yubian: "Since Liang, I really can't find so many people who are safe now, so you can take the Yunyang peacekeeping service for a while."

Cao Yubian hurriedly bowed and said, "I obey the order."

Taichang said to Zou Weilian again: "Dehui, I will leave the Hanzhong Prefecture to you. You can go and take the prefect for the time being."

Zou Weilian also bowed without hesitation: "I obey the order."

Can he just have a little trouble? After all, Xue Zhen, Lu Chunru and others are still in office now.

This is simple, just catch it and kill it.

All these beasts will be killed by me!

Taichang then said to Cao Wenzhao: "Wenzhao, tomorrow morning, you will send five thousand elite cavalry to follow Wenhe to take office."

The five thousand elite cavalry, even the Tunwei in the nine garrisons, may not be able to do it, let alone the Tunwei rebelled and killed the emperor's personal army. This kind of thing has never happened in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, Taichang reminded: "Wenhe, copy all the magistrates on this list. When you arrive in Xi'an, don't care about anything. Take someone to catch the magistrate Lu Chunru and take his official seal. Don't let anyone go on this list. Send people to cut them all. As for their vacant positions, you can just find the juren from the famous local official families to take over."

This is crazy!

When Liu Yingkui heard this, his face changed drastically.

He, a juren, went to kill all the prefects, the county magistrates and other things!

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but frown and said, "Why, don't you dare?"

I dare!

This is a great opportunity. A fourth-rank magistrate. As long as you do it well, you can become a formal magistrate!

The Liu family has not been so old for more than a hundred years.

Such a great opportunity cannot be missed in vain!

Thinking of this, Liu Yingkui gritted his teeth and bowed: "I understand, please don't worry, the emperor, these corrupt officials can't escape."

Well, just be brave.

Taichang thought for a while and said to Luo Sigong: "You send someone to rush to the outside of Yunyang Prefecture to pass on my secret order, and ask Cao Bianjiao to find an excuse to lead his army into the city, arrest Xue Zhen and other corrupt officials, strictly guard them, and wait for me to deal with it. By the way, you send another team of people to Tongguan Guards and ask Zhang Guodong to cooperate with intercepting all the official documents of the stations sent to the capital in Shaanxi, and carefully check. Any news related to the people on this list will be burned, so don't let the news spread to the capital."

Luo Sigong bowed and said, "After the order", then picked up the pen and hurriedly copied the list on the small table beside him, and then turned around and went out to arrange it.

It seems that nothing will happen next, just wait until we set out to Yunyang early tomorrow morning.

They happened to pass by the Shangzhou affairs, and they would just handle it at that time.

As for Hanzhong Prefecture, he had to send the cavalry of Shenwu Camp. He had to go to Yunyang Prefecture to meet with the infantry of Shenwu Camp first.

Taichang thought for a while, then asked again: "Wenhe, how about I staying in your mansion for a while? I'm afraid that this county government can't live in so many people."

The county government does not have less than 200 people to live in. It is not that the county government government has a small area. Most of the houses in the main county government governments are for official business purposes, and there are not many houses that really live in.

Liu Yingkui naturally wanted it. If the emperor could stay in his mansion for one night, it would be really brilliant!

Such things may be recorded in history and passed on, and the Liu family may be famous in history because of this.
